How is information transmitted?
From TSYS (TransFirst):
Our mobile devices primary communication will be over the internet or wifi. If this is unavailable, it will try a secondary method through the phones 3g/4g phone network (primary/secondary options be different based on the phones specific settings. Lastly, if there is no communication available, the PayFox app will store the information to process until one of these sources of information is available.
The app and reader do provide point to point encryption, yes. The mobile devices are encrypted along with our servers, making all data communicated fully encrypted, from origination to destination.
